EPL Fantasy League Week 12 (November). Our gameweek winner was etrader9 with 53, with no one else getting out of the forties...that was the kind of week we had. Oh, but you'd have ruled if you had thought to start Jonatan Johansen and Gary O'Neil. Whatever. Charlton are in fourth. I don't know. catfish, StarFucker and wc are all within a point of each other at the top of the November table. (more inside)

Not much to say because not much movement in the table. Except that I keep neglecting properly to acknowledge the performance of this Andy Griffiths fellow's bluebears, who have quietly held consistent form that's got them in third place and within striking range of Fooker and me. So, cheers to Mr. Griffiths, and good luck to all of us.

And as a further service, here's the Fantasy Hockey League thread this post pushed off the page, as well as the thread about kippers and sardines.

I hope you chumps have noticed that on the monthly table the Bog Bandits are rising, phoenix like. Be afraid.

Thank god this is a fantasy league, or I'd have been sacked by now.

If I can somehow squirm my way into the top 20, I'll be chuffed as a little girl. More than anything, I just want to stay well out of relegation.

Is Trendel even playing?

posted by StarFucker at 09:57 AM on November 11, 2003

He may be on auto-pilot. Which doesn't say much for the players who are doing worse than he is.

Re: Trendel - wasn't there somebody that joined the pool and drafted a team and assured us that he would stick with it and not make any changes? (not that I could find evidence of this in my skimming of the first two EPL pool threads).

posted by gspm at 03:10 AM on November 12, 2003

Well I claimed that, since I usually lose interest with these things quickly. Then I started doing badly and made some changes. Which, I might add, are not really paying off.

salmacis, aren't you also a Man U fan? Shame on you. Or if you're a West Brom fan, good stuff and good luck! Either way, I'm glad you're not on auto-pilot.

He called you a Man U fan. That's fighting talk innit? ;-)

Now he's calling you a bleeding brummy. It'll end in tears.

salmacis, aren't you also a Man U fan? Fuck off, wc2002! That's about the most insulting thing you could have called me. Insult my father, call my mother a whore, but never, NEVER accude me of being a Man Utd fan! Oh yeah, and for the record, BOING BOING!

The dialect section is particularly amusing, especially when you realise that sal actually speaks like that. I'm moving that he has to type the way he spakes loike.

posted by squealy at 09:23 AM on November 13, 2003

Apologies, sal. So I was half-right. You are a WBA fan. Or is it Wolves? I see Gazza was making a comeback with the Wanderers but he's crocked. I'll never "accude" (heh) you of being a ManUrehead again. Sorry. Well, cheers to the "Blackcountry". (Damn, it looks like West Virginia.)

posted by worldcup2002 at 09:45 AM on November 13, 2003

btw, what's up with the boing boing? Gadzoinks!

posted by worldcup2002 at 09:46 AM on November 13, 2003

It's just something they sing, dunno why, probably because they're all as daft as brushes. Excellent page on Baggies songs here, includes Boing, Boing. It also features their fabulous version of "Would you like to swing on a star" which takes a verbal swipe at neighbours Blues, Villa and Wolves respectively. Can't say I've ever heard them sing it, but you cant deny it's a great song.

posted by squealy at 10:14 AM on November 13, 2003

The Black Country is the industrial region to the west of, and separate from, Birmingham. You know, they've had this handy graphical format for a few millenia now called maps, would that be asking too much of these brummy bog bandits at the Beeb?
